On Wednesday evening, August 14, the Trump Organization’s $3 billion development at Trump National Doral Miami cleared an early hurdle.
Trump Organization is moving forward with development plans to build residences and retail spaces at the Trump National Doral Miami resort. This vast property spans over 600-acres and is already home to a hotel and four golf courses, including the known Blue Monster course, which is popular for its challenging water obstacles.
Progress in Zoning Change
During a meeting on Wednesday evening, the Doral City Council took a step forward by approving the first reading of a proposal to rezone the southeastern portion of the golf club and resort. The council gave the greenlight to the zoning adjustment through a 3-2 vote. This decision sets the stage for building 1,498 condominiums surrounding the Trump National Doral golf course.
Additionally, the proposal also includes constructing four 20-story towers along with another smaller building around the existing clubhouse and hotel. The city council expects to give final approval for this zoning alteration in a vote scheduled for September.

Staged Construction and Sales

History and Future Expansion
The history and future growth of Trump National Doral Miami intertwine with its existing offerings, such as a 470-room hotel and four golf courses, including the Blue Monster. This iconic property, acquired by Donald Trump for $150 million in 2012 has been a venue for events like PGA Tour tournaments.
The recent development plan revises a proposal for 2,209 units dating back to August 2022. While both blueprints feature the number of structures the updated version prioritizes expanding spaces over residential units.
